Mercedes-AMG A45 S Service & Repairs in Adelaide
The Mercedes-AMG A45 S 4MATIC+ is one of the most powerful four-cylinder production cars ever built. Producing up to 310kW from AMG’s hand-built M139 engine, the A45 S is engineered for extreme performance — and that means it demands specialist servicing.
At German Auto, we provide expert servicing and repairs for high-performance Mercedes-AMG models, including the A45 S. Our Adelaide workshop understands the engineering complexity behind AMG systems and delivers precision diagnostics and factory-spec maintenance without dealership pricing.
The M139 Engine – A Hand-Built Powerhouse
At the heart of the A45 S is AMG’s M139 2.0L turbocharged engine — a “one man, one engine” unit built for high boost, high compression, and maximum output.
Key features include:
- Twin-scroll turbocharger
- Electronically controlled wastegate
- High-pressure fuel injection
- Advanced cooling circuits
- 310kW output (factory specification)
This engine runs significantly higher stress levels than standard Mercedes models. Correct oil specification, cooling system integrity, and turbo health monitoring are absolutely critical to longevity.

4MATIC+ & AMG Torque Control
Unlike earlier A45 models, the A45 S uses 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive with AMG Torque Control, allowing torque distribution between the rear wheels — including Drift Mode.
Servicing considerations include:
- Rear differential servicing
- Transfer case inspections
- AWD system diagnostics
- Software calibration checks
These systems require specialist diagnostic tools and experience to maintain properly.
